 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of a computer enclosure comprises a chassis 10, a cover plate 20, and a securing member 50. The securing member 50 comprises a fastener 30 and a coil spring 40. The chassis 10 comprises a first side plate 11, and a second side plate 12 perpendicularly connected to the first side plate 11. A top flange 121 substantially perpendicularly extends from a top edge of the second side plate 12. The second side plate 12 comprises a concave portion 123 in a proximity to the top flange 121. A first securing hole 125 is defined in the concave portion 123 corresponding to the fastener 30. The cover plate 20 comprises a main plate 21 and, a side flange 22 substantially perpendicularly extending from an edge of the main plate 21. A second securing hole 221 is defined in the side flange 22 corresponding to the fastener 30.
Referring to FIG. 2, the fastener 30 comprises a head 32, and a shaft 34 extending from an inner central portion of the head 32 along an axial direction of the fastener 30. The shaft 34 comprises a cylindrical main portion 341 and a threaded end 343. The cylindrical main portion 341 is connected between the head 32 and the threaded end 343. A diameter of the threaded end 343 is greater than that of the cylindrical main body 341, but less than that of the head 32. The diameter of the threaded end 343 is substantially equal to a diameter of the first securing hole 125, or a diameter of the second securing hole 221. The coil spring 40 comprises a first coil end 41 and a second coil end 42. A diameter of the first coil end 41 is less than a diameter of the second coil end 42. The diameter of the first coil end 41 is substantially equal to a diameter of the cylindrical main body 341. The diameter of the second coil end 42 is greater than that of the threaded end 343. In one embodiment, the coil spring 40 comprises a central portion connected between the first coil end 41 and the second coil end 42. The central portion of the coil spring 40 has a same diameter as the diameter of the second coil end 42.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, in assembly, the threaded end 343 expands the first coil end 41 to extend into the coil spring 40. The first coil end 41 returns to its original shape after moving from the threaded end 343 to the cylindrical main body 341. The first coil end 41 abuts the head 32 and secures to the cylindrical main body 341 by a static frictional force. The cover plate 20 is placed on the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12. The main plate 21 is substantially perpendicular to the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, and the main plate 21 abuts the top flange 121. The side flange 22 abuts the second side plate 12. The second securing hole 221 is aligned with the first securing hole 125. The second end 42 of the coil spring 40 is near the second securing hole 221 and abuts the side flange 22. The head 32 of the fastener 30 is pressed and moves towards the second securing hole 221. In one embodiment, each of the first securing hole 125 and the second securing hole 221 is a threaded hole engageable with the threaded end 343 of the fastener 30. The threaded end 343 is screwed into and extends through the second securing hole 221. The cylindrical main body 341 is engaged in the second securing hole 221.
When the fastener 30 is in a released position as shown in FIG. 4, the threaded end 343 is spaced from the first securing hole 125. The coil spring 40 is in an original position and has the same length as the shaft 34. The cover plate 20 is in an unlocked position and is removable from the chassis 10.
To lock the cover plate 20 as shown in FIG. 5, the head 32 is pressed and moves towards the first securing hole 125. The coil spring 40 is compressed, and then the threaded end 343 is screwed into the first securing hole 125. Then the fastener 30 is in a locked position wherein the cover plate 20 is secured to the chassis 10.
To unlock the cover plate 20, the threaded end 343 is unscrewed from the first securing hole 125. The coil spring 40 urges the fastener 30 to move to the released position and resumes the original position. Then the cover plate 20 is in the unlocked state and may be removed from the chassis 10.
While the present disclosure has been illustrated by the description of preferred embodiments thereof, and while the preferred embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not intended to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such details. Additional advantages and modifications within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure will readily appear to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details and illustrative examples shown and described.
